/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I met a girl that was scared of eggs once. Wouldn't eat anything with eggs in it.

>>6201408
im afraid of new experiences
but not food that's weird.

>tfw runnig out of new food to try
>tfw small negro city

There are always fussy people, but there seems to be a culture of it in the Midwest. I have in-laws there, and I've heard them say (when choosing a place to go out to eat) they want "normal" food. When I ask them what the fuck normal food is they usually reply with something like, "You know, regular food. Nothing weird."

If you're a fan of adventurous eating I'd really recommend getting the fuck out of the Midwest.

Here in NYC the felafel sandwich is a common food. Maybe not as ubiquitous as pizza, burgers and hot dogs, but not far behind them in popularity. And it's cheap, too. You can still get a good example at Mamoun's for under $4. (The rent here is another story, unfortunately).

913 reporting in. Habashi House is GOAT.

>>6201445
>Mamoun's

Went to the one in New Haven. It was good, but Sultan's Market in Chicago is better (for falafel sandwiches anyway)

>>6201450
I wouldn't say Mamoun's is the best. It's just a classic that's still good and cheap. (And if you didn't get it with the homemade hot sauce you missed out. That stuff has a crazy enough pleasure/pain ratio to get a masochist excited).

>>6201408
This is exactly the definition of Flyover.
Fear of new things until it becomes accepted enough to be not judged by your soccer mom idiots.
In ten years your coworkers will be ready for falafel.
Until then, save up to move to somewhere with a little more culture and civilization beyond sweetcorn farms and American football.

>>6201445
>You know, regular food. Nothing weird."
fuck 'em, go where ever to eat. don't let this filthy flyover plebs stop you from eating good food

whenever my dad comes up to visit he always wants to only go to bars and get bar food to eat. i'd finally talked him into indian food last time and he just ended up complaining the whole time. but at least i got to eat something tasty

>>6201408
Volunteered at a high school cafeteria once as a favor to my friend, who was a teacher there. The kitchen helper never showed up for work or something.

Anyway, it was around Halloween, and the school went all out. Halls were decorated, doors, lockers, etc. We had beef stew as an option for lunch. It was slow cooked beef, potatoes, mushrooms and carrots. To get with the theme, the cafeteria named their stuff with a Halloween twist. Spaghetti became brains and meatballs, Caesar salad was monster skins with dressing, etc. I decided to name the beef stew "Horse". Because, you know, with all the baby-tier naming, something simply named "Horse" would be unnerving.

I guess it scared everyone off, because we had about 14 out of 15 liters of the thing leftover. Told the lady to just thicken that stuff up and put pastry on top of it to sell it as beef pot pie.

>>6201471
Wow you don't know any soccer moms. They're the exact people these "new" things are marketed to. The pinterest-lurking, yoga-obsessed harpies with children. Restaurants pray they accept their "exotic" cuisine, because it guarantees success. No judging involved. Soccer moms live for these things.

>>6201479
I suppose the definition of Soccer mom has changed slightly. I suppose they'd be more accurately classified as commoners or plebeian.
The point being, the kind of simple folk that live by the motto "What're ya bettern' me?" and "It was good ennuf fer mah daddy, it's good enuff fer me."

Those people who eat a dish once and find it incredibly tasty
There's actually an ingredient in it they don't like
The second time they eat it you tell them and they don't like it anymore

>>6201501

Fuck, I never understood that.

>>6201472
I live in Brooklyn. Adventurous eating is literally just a few steps outside my apartment. When I go to visit relatives in the Midwest I can suck it up and eat boring food for a few days. The good local beer takes the sting out of it.

Though I was shocked when one of my wife's high school friends invited us over to dinner with her family in their beautiful suburban house, then proceeded to serve us frozen pizza and salad from a bag with out choice of various flavors of ranch dressing. When I asked if she had olive oil and vinegar she said she had some white vinegar she used for cleaning. When I made a little vinaigrette for my salad she was amazed. "I didn't know you could do that!" This woman was neither poor, nor stupid. She simply had no idea salad dressing didn't have to come from a bottle. (Obviously she had no idea frozen pizza was an odd thing to serve guests, either, but I was not going to be a snob toward her when she was kind enough to invite me over).

There is some scary eating going on in the Midwest.

>>6201595
I lived in Iowa for 1 year and my roommate had never tasted soy sauce.

I shared some of my cherries with him once and it was exactly like watching a toddler eat. He didn't know how to eat them without biting the pit so he chewed on the sides and ended up spitting out most of the cherry. It was genuinely confusing to him.

Some nice people there, but you can nuke the midwest and lose nothing of value.

>>6201478
You weren't creative enough, need to be over the top with these things, especially around kids.

Could've easily made it swamp water or baba yaga's kid soup.

>>6201644
>but you can nuke the midwest and lose nothing of value.
I'd rather start with California. It's slipping into the ocean, anyways. Let's go ahead and preempt mother nature.

I'm only afraid of food that's gotten me sick before since my stomach is literal trash when I get food poisoning.

I'll eat anything but Ethiopian food because of that.

Every other cuisine has a safe/americanized food that even the pickiest of eaters can handle.

>>6201408
Also how the fuck is falafel scary that's stuff is pretty bland/safe with most people. Hell I ate falafel when I still had my "I refuse to eat foreign foods" phase.

>>6201644
>Some nice people there
That's the thing. I really like my in-laws in WI and MI, but eating with them is like eating with toddlers (as you so aptly put it). I think my mother in law lives entirely on cereal, 2% milk and microwave mac & cheese.

One of my best friends grew up in Iowa. Dude made it to 30 without ever tasting lamb. How do you do that?

The funny thing about all the Midwest food hate is that most Midwestern people eat traditional food that would seem exotic, but chose to keep it in house. When entertaining people they don't break out the beef tongue sandwiches or the pickled heart or realy weird traditional shit because the city folk wouldn't get it. Think : pickled stuff, weird fish preparations and lots of game. It's there if the snobbey foodies don't roll into town and exclaim "where is my meme food you fucking heathens". As far as introducing your friends and family to shit, it sounds like your a pushy cunt and the people who couldn't reach consensus with you were sick of your shit.

Can't even get decent food. Right after I got here, I ordered some spaghetti with marinara sauce and I got egg noodles and ketchup. I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

>>6201445
>If you're a fan of adventurous eating I'd really recommend getting the fuck out of the Midwest.
u wot

Some of the greatest and most "adventurous" foods I've ever had were served in Minneapolis and Chicago.

>>6201676
>most Midwestern people eat traditional food that would seem exotic, but chose to keep it in house.
This has not been my experience. Sure, hunters have venison, and a handful of German, Scandinavian and Polish dishes hang on regionally. But the vast majority of people I've met seem to live off chain restaurant food, bar food and convenience foods from the supermarket. And sandwiches. Those who actually cook do it in a semi-homemade way, dumping all manner of mixes, canned goods, bottled sauces and frozen foods into slow cookers or casserole dishes to get very mild chili, slow boiled meat in BBQ sauce or some manner of "hot dish".

>>6201693
Those are sort of exceptions, them being large popular cities.

>>6201693
>Minneapolis and Chicago.
You just named the only places where it's easy to get a good bite to eat in an 822,000 square mile area.

>>6201693
and 3 hours south of chicago, where i grew up, you're lucky to get 1 vietnamese place, 1 thai place, and a couple taquerias as ethnic food.

>>6201447

Lots of good eats in that market area. The burrito joint is good too and the sandwiches at Carollo's are out of this world

>>6201700
Drive around your eastern states and I promise you that you get out into lower population areas and people don't eat ethnic fijian sea cucumber suprise like you're convinced they do. Small town life is different. I would say Midwestern small towns have pretty good selection. If your comparing large and medium sized towns to small ones your strawman is just going to confirm what you want it to, so why even post?

>>6201408

I live and work in Kansas City

>Not going to Anthony's

>>6201716
Yeah Peotone or wherever sucks. Enjoy your one generic Chinese buffet

bump for more flyover butthurt

>>6201408
>Have you ever met people that are just plain *afraid* of new foods?
Yes, and it just seems so silly.
If you don't like it don't eat any more of it, or spit it out if you're a real pussy.

Its fucking embarrassing when a grown ass man won't eat food.

>>6201716
And 6 hours north of Chicago I'm lucky to have a viatenamese, thai , Cantonese medeteranian, Jamaican, 2 authentic mexican , 2 polish 1 german and 2 french restaurants in a town with less than 30k people. That's forgetting all the farm - to - table restaurants and fresh catch places serving fish just dragged out of the lake. Is the impression that we just eat burger King and scrambled eggs here?

I'm glad I don't live in a fly-over state, but with that being said. Midwest food ain't bad. They make American classics well, with nicely sized portions, and decent prices. Definitely sucks that the communities aren't willing to expand their pallet though, but fuck'um.

>>6201757
Where the fuck do you live? Some kind of upper middle class yuppie winter resort town?

Shit nigga lamb is hard to get around here.
We've got all kinda of cow and pork and chicken bits (muh chicken liver mac n cheese), and shit like crawfish, bison, salmons, imported preserved meats, but no lamb.

at least I'm in walking distance of ox tails, ham hocks and liver sausage.

>>6201736
>Drive around your eastern states and I promise you that you get out into lower population areas and people don't eat ethnic fijian sea cucumber suprise like you're convinced they do.
The difference is that in the Northeast the cities aren't very far apart. If you're passing through a place where the only options are a chain pizza joint, a Chinese takeout and a Waffle House you're not much more than an hour or two away from better options. D.C., Philly, NYC and Boston all have Chinatowns. That's four major cities in a row in about the distance from Chicago to Minneapolis.

Sure, plenty of folks in the Northeast eat like shit. We have chain restaurants and supermarkets full of crap just like anywhere else in America. But if you want to eat something better or more interesting here you've got options. Even upstate NY and western PA are easier to find a bite to eat in than, say Eau Claire, WI.

>Kansas City

There's your problem.

And by afraid to try new things you mean unable to accept anything other than processed crap/ bad fake mexican food?

I sort of get where they're coming from, from a social anxiety perspective - they don't want to order something which they have no idea what it tastes like, take a bite, and be greeted with something they despise, then having to dispose of the entire meal and order something else, or go hungry. In front of co-workers, no less.
>b-but it's g-good to exp-periment
Yes, on your own time, not company lunch time.

>>6201770
B-bbut anon, why would anyone ever vacation in a f - flyover state. We aren't even worth stopping in mmmrn.

>>6201408
I've been posting, but don't want this thread to turn into piling on the Midwest for unsophisticated taste and unwillingness to try new things.

There could be a reason for this as far as culture goes. The Midwest has stronger ties to farming than other parts of the country. Farmers generally don't go in for "fancy" anything; they have to be pragmatic in order to survive. "Exotic" meant imported for much of American history, and a farmer had no use for imported goods. That sort of farmer attitude hangs on in the Midwest.

If you go to Pennsylvania Dutch country you find an analog of it in the Northeast. But most of the cities in the Northeast were founded facing across the Atlantic. Interaction with Europe (and later the rest of the world) has always been part of their history and economies. So foreign things weren't necessarily shied away from. And the concentration of wealth meant fancy things weren't considered frivolous, either.

My theory is that the "not wanting to try new things" attitude that annoys you in Kansas City is a legacy of farmer attitudes. Agriculture is still huge in the area, so those kind of attitudes won't be disappearing anytime soon.

>>6201892
what soul food
blacks eat chain shit and frozen stuff. the only non chain places here are strictly yt establishments

>>6201873
People from Chicago go to the UP all the time. Your town would not have those nice things if not for Chicagoans wanting to get away from the crime for a weekend.

The pretentiousness in this thread is at critical mass.

there is also autists of course

>>6201936
Statements like this are truly ignorant. Did you know Michiganders have an abbreviation for people from Illinois?

FIPS

They could also be known as fudgies or conesuckers.

>>6201937
I detect some flyover butthurt

>>6201943
and yet your economy depends on these people. of course, I moved away from the midwest, because I want to do something important with my life

>>6201952
Ayy I don't live in northern Michigan just relaying what I know

What is it that you've decided to do with your life that matters? Genuinely curious

>>6201936


a: not the UP. 6 hours North into Michigan is either Escanaba or landlocked, so don't be a faggot.

b: either chicago is part of the midwest, and therefore part of the culture, or its an extension of the east. "omfg u dumb Midwesternrs....you can't have a city.....all your foods outside of cow and tree bark must be from the east" . This is an example of food, 350 miles away from a city center, that is not "normal food". I would say that jose who owns one of the taquerias would even disagree with you that all his buisness is from chicago. Yes brown and yellow people can live around trees. Please move the goal posts more.

>>6201965
I am from Peoria, IL. I know what I'm talking about when it comes to average midwestern food. Your town is the exception, not the rule.

>>6201969
What about Detroit and the surrounding area. Largest population of middle easterners outside of their native land and definitely the best middle eastern food that can be had in America

>>6201969


Perhaps Illinois is just the shit hole of the United states that we are taught growing up or your arrogant fucking view of the world can' extend outside of your own fucking shonees in town? Wisconsin and the few towns north of Chicago in Illinois have some good food, wtf is wrong with your city?

>>6201979
There's middle eastern food in Peoria, too. The town is practically run by the Lebanese. Do the inner city black people eat that shit? No. Do the farm kids eat that shit? No. Do most the white suburban people eat that shit? No. You're confusing what the upper middle class does with what the rest of the country does. You're an elitist 1%er.

What's funny is the arrogant coastal folk couldn't eat all their fancy fag food if we didn't grow it and raise the animals slaughtered for it.

>>6201979
And lansing and Ann Arbor are decidedly asian. Great food and a huge love of french pastries and sweet shit(I am looking at you Chapelure)

>>6201983
>Chicago
there you go.

How much traveling have you done in the midwest? Have you been to Indiana? Iowa? Kansas? Nebraska? Because they, and their food, have a lot more in common with my town than anything close to Chicago.

Actually they have a lot more to do with my home town than peoria. I grew up in a town with 8k people. Fuck your shit midsized asshole of the country town. Richmond, Indianapolis, canton, toledo Cincinnati, grand Rapids, Duluth, traverse city, greenbay, Marquette ... search these towns and what ever cuisine your looking for. Bet you find them.

>>6202016
That you live in the poor part of an otherwise upper middle class yuppie town. Someone's gotta sweep the floors.

My brother is like that.

>when's the last time you tried it?
>"uh... well... I just know that I won't like it."
Motherfucking fuck. All he eats is fried/junk food.

>>6202018
why u so mad?

Also, I agree that Peoria sucks. It's representative of everything wrong with America in general and the midwest specifically, and I'm glad I left. The midwest is a good place to go and die, I guess.

>>6202018
Oh look, I can find all kinds of ethnic food in peoria. Sounds like this asshole is just lazy and mad walmart doesn't stock Sambal Oleck so he can try that crazy thai recipe he found on pint rest without leaving his comfort bubble and actually trying for himself.
The non adventuresome redneck anon who is too lazy to try.... its>>6201997

>>6202018
Grand Rapids here. Hated Michigan til I moved here. Hopefully won't ever have to leave the area now. And you're right about the food, we have pretty much everything. Gonna check out the new Thai place that just opened across the street from me after work.

>>6202024
But if I live in the poor part how am I part of the 1%, as you originally claimed?

>>6202038

>>6201991
Those restaurants cater to their actual ethnic population and yuppies. Real people don't eat at those places. They go to golden corral and mcdonalds and chilis and Buffalo wild wings. but please, tell me more about the shithole i was born, raised, and escaped from.

>>6202030
Isit-is it better anon, to be amongst your own timid kind and be able to move in packs? I bet you and your hipster kind spit on people who want to just order comfort food. Do you secretly scarf some tendies and dream of the amber waves of grain, quietly wishing you had just learned how to use Google maps when you were back home?

>>6202067
One thing that Midwesterners are good at is being kind and respectful to others. You'll find that the concept of human kindness is something that seems to have been lost somewhere along the way in the northeast. I hope you find what you're looking for and I'm sure your original home would be happy to welcome you back if you should ever decide to return

>>6202084
I thought I was talking to more than one person. Now that I know it's just you, I kind of feel bad. You seem really pathetic.

And I'm not unhappy. A smile came upon my face the moment I left, and it hasn't gone away since.

>>6202093
Unless you're gay. Or black. Or dress funny. Or have political opinions anywhere to the left of Rand Paul.

>>6202100
seems like you're making more stereotypical/ignorant remarks than he is

>>6202083
Some bitter faggot from peoria is bitching about suburbia's lack of successful diverse restaurants because he hasn't left his mother's basement prior to moving to some other part of the country. Some one else is making a counter point, and they are getting asshurt and demonstrating their insecurity in being around other cultures, but their odd insistence that the fact he can't try their food (without being around them) means that an entire region of the country which he aknowledges has this food availible but not for "real people" is without humus or kebab.

You poor butthurt Midwesterners

>>6202105
I know it from experience, jackass. I wouldn't have left if it were a pleasant place to live.

>>6202050
>Those restaurants cater to their actual ethnic population and yuppies. Real people don't eat at those places.
There you have it folks. That's exactly the attitude that keeps people from trying new things. Yuppies and ethnic types aren't "real" people. "Real" people don't eat that kind of food.

The hayseed terrified of anything to do with foreigners and city slickers.

My mom used to refuse buffalo sauce because she thought it contained buffalo. She also wouldn't eat blue cheese dressing because muh moldy old cheese. One new years she was pretty tipsy and we got her to have a buffalo wing with blue cheese dressing, now she LOVES both. She even eats salads with blue cheese now.

>>6202108
How horrifying.

>>6202108
I ate the food. The ethnic people ate the food. Most of the yokels ate at chain restaurants. How would I know what kind of people go to these places if I never went there myself?

>>6202100
I was expecting this response. You have a very warped view of the Midwest. I have never once seen an open display of racism or any type of bigotry. At the most if someone doesn't like you, you will be ignored.

Or are you a super SJW who can find racism and social injustice in Sesame Street?

These people, man. Bottled dressing is shit. If there's no oil and vinegar, it's almost well enough to have without. Ranch is nasty and that bottled Italian makes me want to hurl. Tastes like a cheap vinaigrette with a cup of sugar dumped in it.

I love people like you. They make me feel so much better about myself, knowing that I don't go through life angry at the black/feminist/jewish boogeyman that I think is oppressing me.

>implying you being called a shitskin has more to do with the Anons being midwestern than with this being 4chan

Anecdotes prove nothing. In my experience, I've never encountered any racist midwesterners. In fact, quite the opposite. Look at how my anecdotes refute yours. Look at how they equally prove nothing.

Ur a fag, faggot.

Now, for my dad. He will not eat anything green and I've seen him dry heave when they fuck up his order and bring guacamole on his plate. He call it 'cat squat'. He's very adement when ordering that they put it on the side nowhere near his plate, my mom eats it. If they fuck up and put it on his plate he will hand the plate to my mom and have her spoon it off onto her plate, along with all the food a half inch circumference from the guac so his dinner isn't tainted.

Now, my turn. I won't eat crustaceans. If shrimp, lobster, crab, crawfish, or anything w more than 4 legs is even involved in a dish I will straight refuse to eat it. I haven't tried any of those, and never plan on it.

Racists are in every state in the country

True, but you're not going to make anyone angry and get a funny reaction by saying that, are you?

>>6202187
Damn a whole family of fags

>>6202185
That really makes no sense. White people who hang out with non-white people will be more racist? Where and when do you think the majority of racist jokes happen? Hint: it's when the target of the joke isn't around.

>>6202193
10/10 I'm done you win. you are a far better troll than me.

What does racism have to do with some racist shit skin being to stupid to find all of the ethnic food in his town of 120k?

>racist jokes are racism now
You're a fucking idiot if you believe that. I've been making racist jokes my whole life, and I'll never stop.

What IS racism is attacking or harassing someone because they're black or because they're gay, which you would only know about if you talked to people who were black or gay.

no, that's racism. you can joke and pretend to have those views, and you won't be racist. surely you people see the difference between something said in jest and something said in earnest.

There's a very fine line there, and plenty of actually racist people hide behind "It's just jokes!"

>>6202232
There's a German restaurant, too. Not ethnic. Do you know why? Because fucking everyone is German-Irish, including myself.

>>6202202
Lol. We all argue every time its time to go out. My dad likes seafood but me and sister won't touch it. My mom likes healthy shit but my dad is fat and refuses. I like more diverse foods (excluding seafood) and they tell me to go eat weird shit with my friends on my own time. So, 9/10 times I go out with them its TeX Mex. Which is cool I guess, I love TeX Mex.

>>6202241

Every food comes from somewhere, so by your logic, everything is ethnic.

You might legitimately be retarded. or just a troll in which case 2/10 got me to respond.

>>6202270
Is it a town in Taiwan where the vast majority of people are of predominately Indian descent?

>>6202264
No, I wouldn't call any food "ethnic food" because it's a fucking stupid thing to say. Chinese food and mexican food are the same because they're not from my culture? Just call the food what it fucking is.

>>6202263
Where did I say I couldn't separate? Have you ever lived anywhere actually racist? I grew up in the south. The way most of the racism there gets expressed isn't through lynchings and shit, it's through a generally racist attitude expressed largely through jokes that also reflect actual racist thoughts.

There's a difference between joking about race, or even making a racist joke to be an edgy faglord, and saying things about niggers being chimpanzees because you actually believe it. If you don't get that distinction, you're an idiot.

>>6202271
Are you the one who was raging on jethro? Or are you in Peoria and believe that fighting racism is as simple as recognizing wrong doing and doing what you can to stop it? Cause the first person is a fucking coward and is just as guilty of closed mindedness as some guy dragging a fag behind his truck in montana. Running and hiding is bad too sjw ' s.

>But keep trying to spread that ebin "everyone is a racist" meme.
I got it from the song in Avenue Q, which is funny as hell.

Racism can be as subtle as being more dissatisfied with the lousy service from a black server in a restaurant than you would have been with equally bad service if the server had been white. It's not just hate crimes and having to ride in the back of the bus. It's also stop and frisk policies, and demanding anyone who looks vaguely Latino carry papers with them at all times to prove they're in the country legally.

It's all around us.

What you're trying to make a jab at is a different thing.

It's not that only whites can be racist, it's that racism only really affects anything when it's held by people who actually can do something to enforce it. If a bunch of black people living in squalor in a ghetto want to talk about how much they hate white people, yeah it's bigoted and racist, but it has very little effect on the lives of most white people. If a bunch of white lawmakers and police officers are racist, we get Jim Crow laws.

>>6202423
Different guy, but I grew up in a town that was 50 percent black. One of my best friends was Cuban, and I have several good friends that are of other ethnicities and yet, in the end, I am still pretty racist. I would think that it's natural to want to stick to people you can identify with even just on sight.

I'm not a dick though. I'm nice to everyone I meet. I just think that while every culture has something to offer, I don't think that we can ever get along as a whole. If you think that I'm racist simply because I am white or so then you're the fucking idiot as most of the blacks and Latinos I've known are super racist and assblasted about white people. It goes both ways.

I know this old italian dude who calls asian people frying pans. He thinks there faces look like they got smacked flat with a frying pan

>>6202455
>>6202460
also, culture and race are separate. you can hate a culture all you want; it only becomes racism when you believe that people of a certain race act a certain way even if they're raised outside the culture.

Niggers making soul food is largely a my or at least it is now days. I'm from a shithole southern town with a 60% black population and all they actually eat is fast food and freezer aisle dogshit thy can get with their EBT. The only "soul food" places ther are owned by white hipsters or white rednecks.

>>6202516
That's because "soul food" is just a name attached to southern food by blacks living up north during the whole "afrika #1 soul brotha" phase

Any "country kitchen" or meat and three type place in the south will be serving basically the same thing, black or white operated.

OP described me. I have an irrational problem with trying new foods. I'm trying to overcome it, but I'm so overwhelmed with how much there is, I never try anything else. Probably why I'm a hungry skelly. When I grew up, everything I tried always made me gag a little. I wanna eat better now that I have a will to stick with it, but never know what, so I've developed a poor picky eating habit.

What do, /ck/? I feel like it isn't nearly as easy as "opening up a cook book," at least for me.

Hell no it isn't. They probably just didn't eat it as its not a "cool" food and all the normalfags want to eat is plastic pizza, and fries and socially acceptable food(basically anything you eat with your hands). You can thank the junk food industry for this.

>>6202591

This is the "I'll stick with what I know because I couldn't bear being disappointed" mentality that also ruins the Midwest. I get it, hayseeds are suspicious of the foods they yuppies and foreigners eat. Fine. Some of these foods might contain vegetable matter. But the "meat and potatoes" generation is dying out as we speak. That's mostly Depression Era and WWII shit.

I understand some folks have been pretty much isolated since then, with only chains and supermarkets as references for how to eat. But if you have even half a brain and the slightest inclination toward eating something more interesting you can do better.

That was what OP's post was all about. "I require food that won't offend my toddler-tier concept of what food ought to be."

>>6203550
This.

When I have the money to eat whatever I'd like then I will begin considering new exotic foods. Until then, I'll stick to what I know.

I'm legitimately scared of having an adverse reaction to something I've never had before. I'm an allergyfag. Almost died once due to eating Brazil nuts which I didn't know I was allergic to Another time, I had some mixed seafood dip in Mexico and spent the next two hours on the toilet puking my guts out. What if I'm allergic to sesame sees or garbanzo beans or whatever spices they use in the Middle East?

"Normal food" can be repetitive yes, but it's safe.

You probably think cilantro tastes like soap too

>>6203560
No you misread everything I was pointing out. I'm personally for adventurous eating. But I was pointing out how it's not fedora to stay with something familiar on a lunch break. On your own time outside of working and not trying new things? No reason not to try.

Funny thing is horse meat is halal.

I dated a girl from Eastern Washington state. She was 18 and never had lamb. Drank milk with her dinner( she thought drink wine with dinner was incredibly fancy) and thought that olive garden was a good restaurant, and that panera bread was high tier. She had coffee for the first time when she was 18 and when she went to new York for a day she only stated in Manhattan and ate at the times Square olive garden.

I'm embarrassed that I was with her.

>>6203670
Easy there. Not everyone was born privileged into a rich family

>>6203683
It's called having some fucking taste, flyover trash.

>>6203670
Was she a good lay or did you not get to that part? I'd honestly settle for a chick like that as long she's good in the sack. Low maintenance > high maintenance.

>>6202591

Psst... horse meat is not illegal in the states. There's no law preventing you from buying a horse and having it privately slaughtered at a place that doesn't mind doing it. I know a few places near where I live in Oregon who will. It only needs to be inspected if you plan on selling or otherwise distributing it through charity.

I worked at a livestock auction for several years, and there's a fairly large community of Russian immigrants (they look like mennonites but I don't think they are) and those guys friggin LOVE their horsemeat.

>>6202614
It's a cultural thing. Horses are such a huge part of American lore that we think of them as on par with dogs and cats in the "DO NOT EAT" category. There was a time in this country when horse thieves were considered as heinous or even more than murders.

>>6203690
She was okay, got better as it went on. And no you don't, you want a girl who you wouldn't be embarrassed to introduce to your friends or family

>>6203670
Eh, the lamb thing isn't too bad. I dated a girl who had never ate it either, but it wasn't from lack of exposure. sheep were like her favorite animal or some shit.

>>6203710
The only bad thing in his whole story is olive garden.

He's just a gigantic snob.

It's another thing entirely if she was against trying new things, but some people don't have the luxury of growing up to horrendous rich snobs who are more concerned with how sophisticated their dining choices than with how it actually tastes.

>>6203699
Hate it to say, bud, but you sound kinda snobby. Fuck what your friends and family think. If you get a homely chick to satisfy your basic needs and she's easy to please then fuck what anyone else thinks - that's all you need.

>>6203728
>>6203725

That's okay. I just know what kind of people I like and what kind of people I don't. Now I know I want to be with someone with my tastes, there's nothing wrong with that.

>4 were so scared of this food they hadn't tried before that they opted for the burrito place next door. I was amazed. I'd never seen anything like that.
It's Muslim food, they might have taken a bite and sworn eternal jihad for Allah.

OP is obviously an ISIS stooge.

When will the cast of Girls (TM) learn that there's actually more to do in the city than times square. Brooklyn is for broke poorfags for whom midtown dining is off limits so they sperg over muh tacos de lengua. Inb4 Cesar Ramirez, like you could even afford it

Unless you live within 200 miles of new york city, stop talking. I don't eat flyover foods grown by robots that you have never even seen so there's no reason for you to take credit

>fijian sea cucumber suprise
Sea cucumber is an expensive dish that has very little in the way of flavor. The Chinese are crazy for it because it has a very particular squishy texture that they love. Most Western diners would consider it a disgusting waste of money. It's one of those dishes that really illustrates the differences between Chinese and Western tastes.

I've never understood why so many Americans are afraid of falafel, etc. It's fucking fried. It's the most American thing ever.

Kebab/schawarma/etc? It's seasoned meat. Optionally on a stick. What is not American about eating meat on a stick?

I also live in KC. Where do you work OP?
I worked at this place in Corporate Woods for a while and one of my brotier co-workers was horrified of anything that was remotely exotic or spicy. He would go through the Hardee's or whatever drive through and get a completely plain burger, no cheese even, with just mustard on it. One time we managed to get him to try some Indian food (company tab) and he really liked it. I think most of these kinds of people are just sheltered. This dude was from the sticks (bootheel) and had never even tried 'good' food.

FWIW some people are just flat out racist and can't be helped

>schawarma
Americans are more familiar with it under the name "gyros", since the Greeks were the ones who set up restaurants everywhere serving it.

>Blacks confirmed subhuman

>Implying there aren't niggers of every race.

I'm from Springfield, Ohio. It's a small city of 60,000 which is also where John Legend was born and raised. I've been in more danger on the white side of town than on the black side. I got robbed by a bunch of methheads before over there and the wiggers are worse than the "hood niggas". on the black side of town.

My town is full of degenerates and while I've had to deal with ignorant black people, all in all, the whites are worse.

mehh mehh

I know a swedish chick that can't eat anything spicier than black peppercorn. Banana peppers scorched her mouth. Once I found she couldn't eat the peppers from poppa johns, I gave up.
